Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar provides services and support to students and alumni, faculty and their departments, and various St. John's constituents except the School of Law, which has its own Registrar.

Through its varied activities, the office works closely with the offices of the Provost, Information Technology, Admission, Student Financial Services, the College Deans and the University Freshman Center.

Our chief responsibilities fall into six broad categories: registration; record-keeping; enrollment verifications and transcripts; course offerings; classrooms scheduling; and graduation. The Office of the Registrar provides the following services:

St. John's University takes our obligation to safeguard the confidentiality of student information very seriously. We go beyond the requirements of the federal law that governs access to this information.

In general, we will not release any information about you without your prior written consent. There are only two exceptions:

First, we will confirm the following directory information:

Dates of attendance

Degrees or honors received

Your major

Please note that we will never volunteer this information. Under no circumstances will we give anyone your social security number, your GPA, the courses you took, or the grades you received. If you want someone to see your GPA, courses, and/or grades, you must ask us to send that person or agency a transcript.

If you do not want us to confirm even this minimum directory information without your prior written consent, you must request this in writing at one of the following addresses:

Please note that if you ask us to withhold directory information, we will not be able to confirm your enrollment or degrees for enrollment purposes, health plans, or other verifications of status.

The only other time that we will release information about you without your prior written consent is under those circumstances specified by federal law.
